Spi 13-699-4 Comparator Gage Stand Cast Iron Rectangular

Product Description

The SPI 13-699-4 is a cast iron comparator gage stand with a rectangular base, designed for precise dial indicator setups in metrology and quality control applications. The stand features a post height of 8 inches and an overall height of 8 inches, providing stable vertical reach for comparator-style measurements. Fine adjustment capability allows the technician to position the indicator with accuracy. The base is constructed from cast iron for rigidity and vibration resistance, reducing measurement drift during inspection. A holder and square-style anvil with a 2.3125-inch diameter are included, making the stand ready for immediate use out of the box.

This comparator gage stand is suited for machine shop inspection stations, quality control benches, and toolroom environments where repeatable dimensional measurements are required. It is typically used with dial indicators or dial test indicators mounted via the included holder. The rectangular base provides a stable footprint on flat surface plates, inspection benches, and granite surface tables. Both production inspectors and precision machinists use this type of stand for part-to-part comparison, incoming inspection, and in-process gauging tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup of this comparator gage stand should be performed by a qualified machinist, metrologist, or quality control technician. Before mounting a dial indicator, ensure the surface plate or bench is clean and level to avoid false readings. Secure the indicator holder firmly before taking measurements, and verify that the anvil contact point is properly aligned with the part surface. Follow applicable shop metrology procedures and instrument manufacturer guidelines when assembling the gauge to the stand.
